Men create the demand for sex trafficking.Better men can help end that demand.

disrupting the commercial sex market

JUST.MEN.ARIZONA is a committed group of men who are actively disrupting the commercial sex market at the point of sale through personal man to man conversations with potential buyers who contact prostitution ads online.

We are working to expose and put community pressure on property owners where known illicit/erotic massage parlors (brothels) are thinly disguised as legitimate businesses.

Through the Just.Men Academy, we are training men about the causes and solutions to sexual exploitation and how they can leverage their voice to speak up for the voiceless.

Commercial sex costs Arizona more than you think!

Arizona’s geographic location and network of freeways makes it a hub for illicit activity.According to the U.S. State Department, Arizona is a main destination and transit point for labor and sex trafficking from within the U.S. and multiple regions of the world.

The biggest misconception is that trafficking is something that happens overseas.Local and federal law enforcement has indicated that sex trafficking is happening in Arizona at an alarming rate. According to a study by STIR, 78,000 men in Phoenix are online sex ad customers.

Profit from sex trafficking is a billion-dollar business, second only to the illicit drug trade, and surpassing the sale of illegal arms. Sex trafficking is a high profit, low risk business where the commodity can be sold repeatedly, and requires supply and demand. There appears to be a growing demand fueled by easy access through the internet.

We can’t simply arrest our way out of this problem.

Unfortunately, sex trafficking is an ever growing “business” second only to drug trafficking.

The smart phone in your pocket is the brothel of the 21st Century.

One Attorney General said it well, “There’s only so much law enforcement can do. We can’t be on every corner, we can’t be at every truck stop, so we need the public to say, ‘How dare you take our children?’”
